planning

My fiance and I are getting married in September 2021. Our current guest list is 96. We plan on sending out our save the dates this month to everyone with a message to say that we hope to celebrate with everyone providing Boris let's us ???? (something along them lines just written better!) Is anyone else struggling to get important things ticked off for their 2021 date? I still haven't been able to go dress shopping as my first appointment was the week before the first lockdown, & my mum isn't in my social bubble due to her living with someone vunerable we weren't able to go in the recent months too. Is there any advice anyone can give me to be prepared? Our ceremony and reception are at the same place, we've paid our photographer & DJ, we've got our wedding insurance but haven't looked into a new one to cover covid-19 & we're decorating the venue ourselves to save on costs.

I'm struggling to know what to do about invites for my May 2021 wedding, tempted to just send it to the definite 30 and just hope others will be OK at short notice if we're allowed more by then. Know some people have set up Facebook groups for their guests to keep people updated x

Yes im getting married October 2021 and want to get my wedding stationery but can't as I dont know how many people we're allowed yet

I don't have advice on anything else but just double check your wedding insurance, they may have put something in place. Mine didn't mention anything about Covid when I bought it but they've recently sent me an email saying that they'll cover certain things x

Save the date or maybe not, depends on Borris and his bumbling lot, let’s see if we can tie the knot, in the way we planned or not!

We have our wedding planned for July 2021 and am currently organising as if it is going ahead as normal. Only difference is I am only sending invites to the main 30 in March (if it is increased by then!) and as we have already sent save the dates, hoping everyone else can make it if it increases by July ☺️

Boris is resigning. Put it depending on Covid. Sounds a bit friendlier, and you're not blaming it on 1 person

Getting married in Aug 2021 not sent anything out yet! Venue booked , dress bought but that’s about it. Trying not to think about it 🙈

I booked and planned my wedding in 10 months I sent save the dates in Jan for the August and invites in May it was more than enough time as people knew the date anyway. I wouldn't stress about it too much now if you want to wait a little before sending them out so its more clear. I think by sep 2021 we will be seeing more of normal life just like Australia and New Zealand are now

Getting married in Sept 2021 too and have all the big things booked including dress but not suits, or decoration for the venue.. I've paid a deposit on our invites but I can't do anything with them I.e put all the details on.. Or sort trials for make up and hair.. I get worried about everything and anytime someone asks about how the planning is going I get so anxious because I'm no further forward... I am in hope that it will go ahead with everyone being able to come but I feel quite flat about it all right now

I also have sent out my save the dates because I was much more optimistic when I sent them out! I also really want my hen do too but who knows if that will happen 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

We are now getting married next year. We plan to book our wedding with a months notice when it seems like a good time next autumn winter. Then we will do everything in that month. Venue/0photographer etc. We are now only inviting 30 people so that keeps it simple.

It is really hard to feel excited and plan isn’t it? Ours is in May but we’re cracking on with our planning and hoping it will still be the day we dreamed of. I really hope it works out for you 💕💕

We have moved our wedding from last August to next july,its a nightmare isn't is it,every time I wanted to do something there was something in the way.
I have now moved the dates with the dj,photographer,registers, venue ,all the important stuff and now I have had a word with myself on the rest,what will be will be because it was upsetting me so much ,I dont want to feel like this leading up to our big day.
I'm determined to just chill and look forward to marrying my man,with or with out people or big dress or or not it's out of my hands and I have come to terms with that and can't wait to be his wife xxx

I was due to get married July this year... we had to postpone of course until august 2021, I have no motivation whatsoever ever to plan any little extras we can now do, due to extra savings etc, I’m scared of booking anything else incase It can’t go ahead again, My guest list unfortunately can’t be any smaller as I have such a big family, we have no suits for the boys yet, I haven’t got my flower girl dresses, and still need to get my bridesmaid dresses altered, luckily I have my dress though, I also have to get my invites changed to the new date which is a extra cost but just haven’t got the motivation as don’t want to jinx anything...

I'm getting married next September, our saves the dates have already gone out. We are inviting around 60 for the ceremony and a further 60 for the evening reception.... All being well. Thankfully all our suppliers were grateful for the business and are happy to confirm basic details with the rest to follow nearer the time.... Fingers crossed you get all your bits and bobs sorted soon. And congratulations!!

Bare in mind there's rumours of no more than 30 guests to weddings for the next two years!! And you have to include the person doing the ceremony and any waiting staff!
